Refugee Friendsgiving

There are 60 million refugees worldwide who do not get to be home for the holidays. At your Friendsgiving, take the opportunity to talk about the global refugee crisis with your friends.No, you’re not going to solve the refugee crisis, but you will add your voice to a cause that needs so much more of our attention.

Recipe Exchange

Culinary traditions are important everywhere. Just as you wouldn’t hear of changing one ingredient of your grandma’s secret stuffing, refugees hold the foods from their home countries close to their hearts as well.We invite you to prepare your Friendsgiving meal with us. Share your favorite Friendsgiving recipe and we will share with you a recipe from Syria, the Central American Northern Triangle region, or another country with a refugee emergency. Help preserve these cultures and add an international flair to your table.

Place Cards

We know the seating arrangement can make or break the evening – you can’t have your best friend sit next to her ex when she has her eye on your new neighbor, after all.

So that everyone will know the proper place to sit, we have for you a set of printable place cards for your Friendsgiving dinner. But these cards do more than help you avoid awkward arrangements. Your guests can find their names to know where to sit. But on each place card, they’ll also find another name – that of a refugee whose story they can share with the table.
